Abstract: Une structure de succession de cycles thermiques extrêmes comporte un élément de support qui soutient un récipient principalement par des forces d'appui et de friction plutôt que des soudures. L'élément de support comporte une partie d'appuis qui s'incline vers l'intérieur sous une articulation qui sépare une section cylindrique du récipient d'une section inférieure inclinée. La portion d'appui de l'élément de support suit cette pente, offrant une région étendue de contact entre l'élément de support et le récipient. Une section annulaire de l'élément de support peut être chauffée et étendue avant de la placer autour de la section cylindrique du récipient pour fournir une précontrainte. Au besoin, une sangle peut s'étendre vers le bas, à partir du récipient, sur un rebord supérieur de l'élément de support.

Filed: 1998-04-09
Granted: 2011-11-29
Abstract: Processes for the living polymerization of olefin monomers with terminal carbon-carbon double bonds are disclosed. The processes employ initiators that include a metal atom and a ligand having two group 15 atoms and a group 16 atom or three group 15 atoms. The ligand is bonded to the metal atom through two anionic or covalent bonds and a dative bond. The initiators are particularly stable under reaction conditions in the absence of olefin monomer.

Granted: 2016-05-10
Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methodology for providing approaches to remove or reduce thermal drift of the magnetic sensitivity of Hall sensor devices, to improve the stability of resulting signals of interest. Samples of a particular signal or signals of interest having improved stability make for advantageous use in conjunction with electricity meters. At the same time, associated designs and related components have greater simplicity, for reduced complexity in implementation. Among alternative embodiments, a gating structure selected of various present alternative designs may be used to partially cover, to an intentionally selected degree, an active area of a Hall sensor, so that a zero-drift supply current value may likewise be selected so as to satisfy other criteria which may be applicable to use of the Hall sensor. In other alternative embodiments, a gate structure is used which fully covers the Hall sensor active area, but a gate- control technique is practiced which is based on combined use with an external, relatively high resistance voltage-divider circuitry arrangement, again for eliminating temperature-based drift of the magnetic sensitivity of the Hall sensor arrangement, regardless of the end use to which such Hall sensor is applied.
